Development{{see also|Cucumber (TV series)#Development}}Tofu was commissioned in 2013 as a sister show to Davies' dramas Cucumber and Banana.[3] In development since 2006, Cucumber was announced along with companion series Banana, and web series Tofu in November 2013. The titles of all three shows come from a scientific study into the male erection which divided the hardness of the men's erections into a hardness scale consisting of tofu, peeled banana, banana, and cucumber;[4] upon reading the study, Davies remarked that "right there and then, I knew I had my drama".[5] Tofu is a food made by coagulating soy milk and then pressing the resulting curds into soft white blocks in gradations of soft, firm, or extra firm. Described by the channel as an "anarchic and entertaining look at sex", Tofu explores issues that arise in Cucumber and Banana through interviews with actors for both shows and the public,[6] such as one-night stands organised through apps like Grindr and sexual taboos.[7] Requests for participants were issued in July 2014 and were open to anyone over eighteen, regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity, or sexual history; interested parties were asked to send a 90-second video to producers Red Production Company describing their "best sexcapade".[7] EpisodesJournalist and Youtuber Benjamin Cook hosts everyday people discussing a variety of attitudes towards sex. I'm With Geek points out that although not tied to the narrative of Cucumber and Banana, the interviewees include the show's cast and the program discusses sex "with as much frankness as the show depicts it".[1] Tofu offers an "honest, non-judgmental and entertaining view of sex and sexuality in the same way that Cook’s 'Becoming Youtube' did for the Youtube community."[1]
ReceptionAs a documentary series, Tofu is seen as the odd-one-out of the triptych. Reviewing the first episode, Oli Dowdeswell of SoSoGay described the show as "an interesting concept, but one that doesn't work 100% of the time". Dowdeswell praised the interview segments of the episode, but was less positive about the dramatised "mini-Black Mirror" vignette, which he felt was out of place in a documentary series.[8] Sam Wollaston in The Guardian felt that even though the shows were "Gloriously, explicitly, triumphantly, cucumberly. Gay to the core." he didn't feel left out or see the subjects irrelevant; he also found Tofu "cum-in-your-face frank".[9] References1. ^1 2 {{cite news|url=http://www.imwithgeek.com/tv/cucumberbananatofu-episode-1-reviews|title=Cucumber/Banana/Tofu "Episode 1" Reviews|first=Hayley|last=Charlesworth|date=23 January 2015|accessdate=21 February 2014|publisher=I'm With Geek}} 2. ^{{cite news|url=http://www.thedebrief.co.uk/2015/01/why-you-need-to-watch-cucumber-banana-and-tofu-tonight|title=WHY YOU NEED TO WATCH CUCUMBER, BANANA *AND* TOFU TONIGHT|first=Jess|last=Commons|date=22 January 2015|accessdate=21 February 2014|publisher=The Debrief}} 3. ^{{cite news|url=https://www.theguardian.com/media/2013/nov/19/russell-t-davies-gay-life-channel-4|title=Russell T Davies to explore 21st-century gay life in two Channel 4 dramas|first=Maggie|last=Brown|date=19 November 2013|accessdate=23 November 2013|newspaper=The Guardian}} 4. ^{{cite news|url=https://www.theguardian.com/media/2015/jan/17/russell-t-davies-cucumber-banana-tofu|title=Russell T Davies: 'Equality doesn't mean happiness'|work=The Guardian|first=Dan|last=Martin|date=17 January 2015|accessdate=25 January 2015}} 5. ^{{cite press release |author= |title=Russell T Davies Explores 21st Century Gay Life in New Drama for C4 |url=http://www.channel4.com/info/press/news/russell-t-davies-explores-21st-century-gay-life-in-new-drama-for-c4 |publisher=Channel 4 Press Office |date=19 November 2013 |accessdate=25 January 2015}} 6. ^{{cite press release |author= |title=Russell T Davies Explores 21st Century Gay Life in New Drama for C4 |url=http://www.channel4.com/info/press/news/russell-t-davies-explores-21st-century-gay-life-in-new-drama-for-c4 |publisher=Channel 4 Press Office |date=19 November 2013 |accessdate=25 January 2015}} 7. ^1 {{cite news|url=https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/tv/news/russell-t-davies-wants-your-sexcapades-for-new-web-series-tofu-about-modern-sex-culture-9619640.html|title=Russell T Davies wants your 'sexcapades' for new web series Tofu about modern sex culture|first=Jess|last=Dunham|publisher=The Independent|date=21 July 2014|accessdate=26 January 2014}} 8. ^{{cite news|url=http://sosogay.co.uk/2015/episode-review-tofu-s1-e01/|title=Episode Review: Tofu – S1-E01|first=Oli|last=Dowdeswell|date=25 January 2014|accessdate=26 January 2014|publisher=SoSoGay}} 9. ^{{cite news|url=https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2015/jan/22/cucumber-banana-tofu-review-gloriously-triumphantly-explicitly-gay-tv-event-of-week|title=Cucumber, Banana and Tofu review – 'gloriously, triumphantly, explicitly gay and the television event of the week'|first=Sam|last=Wollaston|date=22 January 2015|accessdate=21 February 2014|work=The Guardian}} External links
